He has provided individual training for more than 14 different NBA players including Raja Bell, Carlos Boozer, and J.J. Barea, over 50 European and professional players, and hundreds of college basketball players. He was a college head coach for 14 years and Division I assistant for 10 years, and spent two years as a high-school coach. In two years as a high-school coach, his teams produced six Division I players and was ranked number one in Florida 28 out of a possible 34 weeks.
The camp is open to middle school, high school and college players. Coaches that want to learn and pick up new skills are also invited to attend and observe. The camp is for serious players that want to work hard and want to dramatically improve their scoring mentality, ballhandling, shooting, footwork, finishing, and more. It is designed as an ever-evolving intensive open learning experience that the players, coaches, and parents can really enjoy.
